vegetable gardens will undoubtedly be a big factor in holding the line against high food cost.
Past experience has proved to thousands of families that it is possible to have more and fresher
green vegetables at less cost when a home garden is planted and tended through the season.
Those who had Victory gardens during the war and afterward have learned that even a small
plot of ground can produce an amazing quantity. Because of the enormous amount of seed sent
abroad by the Government, certain kinds of seed are in short supply this year. We therefore

repeat our advice to order at once, so as not to be disappointed. -

Our Perfection Seeds are new. tested strains from the best American and British SOUIcES.
We pledge you our fullest codperation in filling your order promptly the same day it is received
if cash accompanies it. ORDER EARLY to be sure of getting the varieties you prefer.

Hunt’s Perfection Vegetable Seeds

All seeds sent prepaid to any address for cash with order

In spite of the fact that the commercial gardener can usually supply most vegetables during the
summer at less than what it costs the consumer in time and labor to raise them himself, market vege-
tables, no matter how expeditiously and scientifically marketed, are never as good as those grown in
the home-garden.

Besides, there is always the added spice of triumphant achievement in producing the vegetables for
family use from the home plot.

If there is space, such crops as mature underground—potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, and so
on—can be grown cheaply in quantity, and may be stored in the cellar in autumn and kept until
wanted for use. Garden space and garden enthusiasm are all that are needed to produce greate1
quantities of those staple things of better quality.

Please order your seeds early. The use of our special order form will assist us, and expedite delivery.

All seed orders shipped the same day as received.

HUNT'S GARDEN BEANS

Bobne

Beans, particularly the bush varieties, are one of
the most satisfactory vegetables to grow. They
adapt themselves to practically any condition of
soil, succeeding particularly well in the virgin soil of

immediate use may be canned or allowed to ripen
and dry for winter use. Black Valentine Stringless,
Masterpiece, and Golden Wax carry our highest

Alphabetical List of Flower Seeds

Valuable Cultural Hints

Due to continuous heavy rains at time of
harvesting, several varieties of Flower Seeds
are short in supply, and unless instructions to the
contrary are given, the nearest substitute will
be sent.

When sowing seeds in pots, pans, or trays, use a
compost of sweet top soil, sand, and humus, or clean
leaf-mold. Some growers substitute peat-moss for
the humus, but I prefer the latter. No manure of
any kind is required, and the mechanical condition
should be such that if a handful ts squeezed together,
when just pleasantly moist, it falls apart readily
upon the hand being opened. If the particles cling
tenaciously together, it requires the addition of more
humus and sand. The soil should be passed through
a sieve having a half-inch mesh. Fill the pots or flats
to within half an inch of the top with this compost
and press it moderately and uniformly firm, making
the surface perfectly level. For very fine "seeds, a
surfacing layer of the same soil passed through a
quarter-inch sieve will be required. Now water with
a fine spray so that the whole body of soilis satu-
rated. It will be found an excellent preventative of
damping-off and other fungoid troubles if Semesan
is used (normal strength) for this purpose. Allow to
drain for an hour or so and then sow the seed. Sow
thinly and barely cover with soil shaken through a
piece of wire screening. Large seeds, as Lupins and
Sweet Peas, should be covered to a depth of 1 inch,
and minute seeds, as Lobelia, Begonias, etc., will not
require covering. Place a piece of glass and a sheet
of brown paper over each pot or flat and keep in a
temperature of 60 degrees. Examine each morning,
and as soon as germination Is evident, remove the
coverings and gradually expose the plants to full
light. Water with care, never allowing the plants to
suffer either for want of water or by being water-
logged. When water is required, stand the seed-pot
in a pail and allow the moisture to rise from below.

When preparing a seed-bed in a frame, the soil
should possess the qualities already described. Sand
and humus may be freely used. The surface must be
raked fine and level and the seed sown either broad-
cast or in shallow drills, 3 to 4 inches apart. Cover

the seed to its own depth, or slightly more, for sum-
mer sowings. Press lightly with a flat piece of board
and water well with a very fine spray. Keep the sash
and shading material on until the shoots can be just
discerned breaking through the surface, then remove
the shading and admit ventilation on all favorable
occasions. The ground where seed is to be sown in
the open should be brought to a state of pulveriza-
tion and the surface raked fine. So far as possible,
sow either immediately before or after rains, so that
the seed is insured sufficient moisture for germina-
tion and early growth. Annuals may be sown where
they are to flower, the young plants afterward being
vigorously thinned out. Perennials are best sown in
rows and later transplanted.

Seedlings sown in pots and frames will require
transplanting when the second pair of leaves develop.
For many things, flats 3 to 4 inches deep are sult-
able, using a compost similar to that advised for
seed-sowing but in a little coarser state, or they may
be transplanted to beds in frames. Allow 2 inches
each way for this first move. Perennials and bien-
nial seedlings will be transplanted into frames or in
rows in the open ground allowing ample space for
development.

Hardy annuals may be sown when the trees are
bursting imto leaf, and in some cases in the fall.

Half-hardy annuals may be sown so that sizable
plants are available for planting out when danger of
frost has passed, and later for succession. Hardy
biennials are best sown in June or July and hardy
perennials from June to September. Greenhouse
plants are sown at various times according to re-
quirements, and in this connection it may be men-
tioned that many hardy annuals make excellent
greenhouse plants if sown in September or in early
spring. When seeds fail to germinate, my experience
is that the fault is invariably with the person respon-
sible for the sowing and after-care. No reputable
seed-house disseminates untested seed. The most
frequent causes of failure are too deep sowing and
permitting the soil to become excessively dry or the
reverse while germination Is taking place. Either of
these conditions 1s fatal to success.

SWEET PEAS

The Twentieth-Century Method of Growing Sweet Peas

For Early Blooms. Place three seeds in a small
pot of soil in the house about March 1. If all three
seeds germinate, pull out the two weakest plants and
retain the strongest. As soon as the second set of
leaves has formed, plunge the young plants, with the
pots, in a coldframe protected by sash, where they
can be hardened off. Lift the sash during the sunny
hours of the day and water carefully. Set the plants
out in the open about April 15, and space them 6
inches apart in the row.

General Culture
Four ounces of seed will sow a single row of 100 feet

The ground where Sweet Peas are to be grown
should be well prepared—if possible, the fall previ-
ous. Deep spading or plowing is very essential, for

the roots love to penetrate into the cooler part of the
soil. Manure placed at a considerable depth will
help to draw the roots downward. Sweet Peas love
sun, therefore they should always be planted where
they are exposed to the sun all day.

Sow Seeds Early. Sweet Peas produce their
strongest roots during the cool, moist months of
spring, so planting should take place as soon as the
land can be worked. A little frost will do no harm to
Sweet Peas. After the soil has been carefully
smoothed and raked, draw a line for a straight row
and sow three seeds every 6 inches in the row. Do
not cover the seed with more than % inch of soil, and
if more than one plant should appear in each spot,
carefully destroy all but one specimen so that one
plant shows every 6 inches in the row.

GLADIOLUS

Culture. Gladiolus will succeed in all kinds of
soil, provided the location is a sunny one. Before
spading or plowing, manure the ground thoroughly,
as Gladiolus like rich ground.

Time of Planting. The bulbs can be planted
just as soon as the frost is out of the ground and the
beds are properly prepared. In the vicinity of New
York this may be early in April. If the flowers are
wanted in successive crops, it is best to make weekly
plantings, and, if planted as late as June 30, the
flowers will appear before frost-time.

Feeding. Gladiolus are gross feeders, and we find
pulverized sheep-manure is the most result- produc-
ing food. Apply it between the rows after the foliage
has made a good start, and repeat the application

every two weeks until the buds show. From that
time on, liquid sheep-manure, applied every other
day, produces splendid results.

Watering. Continued moisture Is just as essen-
tial for the successful growing of these flowers as
food, and we wish to impress our readers with the
fact that drought is most detrimental to their health.

Cultivation. It is a well-established fact that
every plant benefits by constant cultivation, and if
we were asked what part of the culture Is the most
Important we should always say cultivation. The
soil around the plants should always be open.

Depth and Distance to Plant. Our recommen-
dation is to plant 4 inches deep and 4 inches apart.

GROWING GOOD ROSES

The beds ought not be more than 4 feet wide, and
the soil should be rich. Avoid making the ground
loose or spongy. The stiffer and harder the soil in
the lower layers of the bed, the better Roses grow.
Old sods, decayed cow-manure, bone meal, and
commercial dried sheep manure are good fertilizers.
Keep the surface of the Rose-beds well cultivated.

Plant Hybrid Tea Roses 114 feet apart. More
vigorous types need more space. Set the “bud” or
‘“*sraft’’ at least 1 inch beneath the surface. Spread

out the fine roots carefully and tamp the soil firmly
about them. It is well to tread the soil hard about
the roots. Loose planting is fatal. ;

Dormant Roses should be pruned in the spring.
Remove weak and dead wood, and shorten the good
canes to 6inches. Ramblers of the Dorothy Perkins
type should have the old canes cut out at the base
as soon as they are through blooming. Other Climb-
ers require little pruning; simply remove dead wood
and an occasional old cane as new ones appear.
